Prepare the Rain Collector
1. Turn the rain collector upside down. Remove
the cone from the base by rotating the base
until the latches on the cone line up with the
latch openings in the base, then lifting the base
away from the cone.
Tip:
It might be easier to remove the cone if you steady it between your knees.
2. Carefully cut and remove
the plastic tie which holds
the tipping spoon in place
during shipping.

Before installing the rain collector, test the unit. If you are replacing a rain collector
